Minoring in Business for Non-Business Majors

Business Minors for Non-Business Students at The University of Toledo

The College of Business and Innovation offers a general minor and seven specialty
minors (accounting; business analysis; electronic commerce/information technology;
entrepreneurship, family and small business; international business; professional
sales and operations/supply chain management) for students in non-business programs
at The University of Toledo. These minors are recommended for students who want to
enhance their academic programs with business-related course work. Students taking
courses in the business minor must meet course prerequisite requirements. These minors
are designed specifically for non-business students and should not be confused with
the individual minors offered for College of Business and Innovation students. Students
can complete a maximum of two minors and may take no more than one course that fulfills
the requirements of both minors. Students should contact advisers in their college
and in the College of Business and Innovation for additional details about the minors.
